A "True" Profesional...

Mr. C Peters took care of my case with a clear strategy. He executed with precision and followed through with everything he promised when he first accepted my case. He always responded promptly, usually with in a few hours of an email, and phone calls schedule was always on time. Hire him, he will... take good care of your case. T. Dao

You will not regret it. I promise!

He is incredible! If you're in need of an attorney, Mr. C Peters is the one! I had hired him on for a case of mine that I don't need to get into but in short, my good nature was taken advantage of which resulted in litigation. If I had gone anywhere else, I don't think it would have worked out the ...same. I say that b/c, being in business for years prior to this problem arising, I'd hired many attorneys and I'd also usually end up firing them as well. They were useless, to say the least. Constantly arguing with my point of view, forgetful, billing me constantly but could never produce any meaningful bills. It turns out that one of them was actually a friends with the opposing side's attorney! Yeah, that worked out well. For those 2! Anyway, Mr. Peter's was there the entire time. He listened, was intelligent and kind to my money problems during the process. It was pure luck that I came across him but should I ever need anyone in the future, he's the one. Please do yourselves a favor and bring him on as your representation. An all around, wonderful human being!

I am immensely grateful for the work done.

I cannot express enough my appreciation for all the work Chris has done for me. Chris was willing to help me when more than one local lawyer would not. Chris was very knowledgeable in regards to the applicable laws and his advice was consistent and correct throughout the entire process. With his help... I was able to turn what looked like a lost cause into a success story for me. If you are having issues dealing with creditors or thinking about filing bankruptcy, I highly recommend Christopher James Peters.

Unprofessional and Disrespectful – I Would Never Recommend

Terrible Experience — Treated Me With Disrespect and Zero Empathy I hired Christopher J. Peters at the Fullman Firm for help with a debt lawsuit from AMEX — my first time ever being sued — and it was one of the most dehumanizing professional experiences I’ve ever had. Instead of support, I was ...met with constant condescension, aggressive language, and zero flexibility. Every time I asked fair, reasonable questions, I was told I was wasting everyone’s time. I was literally told my request was from “fantasy-land,” and he wrote things like: “Seriously Leon? How many times do I have to tell you that is never going to happen?” “We’re not going to waste more time on your impossible expectations.” “I will not answer this question again.” “Sign a stipulated judgment or deal with this yourself.” This was how I was spoken to as a paying client. I never felt safe, supported, or heard. And here’s the kicker — I eventually signed a substitution of attorney and represented myself. Within 10 minutes of contacting the other side, I secured a lower monthly settlement than the one he told me I’d “never” get. So the entire narrative he pushed was false. This firm charged me for legal help and then made me feel like a burden for seeking it. If you are vulnerable, struggling, and hoping for advocacy, please think twice. I wouldn’t wish my experience on anyone.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
